Flynn Industries has three activity cost pools and two products. It expects to produce 3,000 units of Product BC113 and 1,500 of Product AD908. Having identified its activity cost pools and the cost drivers for each pool, Flynn accumulated the following data relative to those activity cost pools and cost drivers. Estimated Expected Use of Cost Product Product
Activity Cost Pool Cost Drivers Overhead Drivers per Activity BC113 AD908
Machine setup Setups $16,000 40 25 15
Machining Machine hours 110,000 5,000 1,000 4,000
Packing Orders 30,000 500 150 350
Using the above data, do the following:
(a) Prepare a schedule showing the computations of the activity-based overhead rates per cost driver.
(b) Prepare a schedule assigning each activity's overhead cost to the two products.
(c) Compute the overhead cost per unit for each product. (Round to nearest cent.)
(d) Comment on the comparative overhead cost per product.

a) Schedule of Activity-based Overhead Rates per Cost Driver:

Machine setup   $16,000/40 = $400 per machine setup

Machining      $110,000/5,000 = $22 per machine hour

Packing          $30,000/500 =    $60 per order

b) A Schedule Assigning Activities Overhead Cost to the Products:

                                                               Product                 Product

                                                                BC113                   AD908

Cost Pool            Overhead Rate     Usage  Costs        Usage  Costs

Machine setup   $400/m.setup         25 = $10,000           15 =   $6,000

Machining            $22/mhour       1,000  =  22,000    4,000 =    88,000

Packing                $60/order              150   = 9,000        350 =    21,000

Total overhead allocated                          $41,000                  $115,000

c) Computation of the Overhead Cost per unit:

                                                  Product                 Product

                                                    BC113                   AD908

Total overhead allocated          $41,000              $115,000

Expected units to be produced   3,000                    1,500

Overhead cost per unit              $13.67                  $76.67

d) A close look at the overhead cost per product shows that Product AD908 causes more activities in machining and packing and also is allocated more overhead costs accordingly.  On the other hand, Product BC113 uses machine setup and has got higher machine setup cost assigned to it.

muslims control the north africa during the period of 1500 up

to 1800. they made a barrier to prevent further european exploration from

entering the africa from the north. however, the dutch ware still able to move

toward the interior with having south africa as one of the routes leading to

the east for trading with asia.
